Want to see how YouTube looked like way back in 2006?

You can still watch the 240p resolution video.

Igarashi gave us a ton of great CV games, so it's all good. I remember people complaining during the DS era. "Another CV game? Boring!" Look at us now. Look at the world. It's all going to hell because there are no new CV games.

It's not uncommon for credits to misspell people's names. But in this case, it's not misspelled. Both Koji and Kouji are correct.

People often think of Koji Igarashi as being the creator of Castlevania Symphony of the Night since Konami eventually made him the steward of the series. But did you know that SotN's lead director and producer was not Igarashi, but Hagihara, a Konami veteran since the NES days?

Yeah, even though the pics constantly get used and stolen without credit, I still don't watermark them. I think it's historically important to keep them as original as possible.

Everyone knows who the famous Billy & Jimmy Lee are, but did you know there's a 3rd brother called Sonny? He first appeared in Double Dragon 3 for the arcades as choice for the 3rd player slot. He resurfaced 17 years later in Double Dragon IV as an unlockable character.

If you've played other RPGs since, then you won't find it a big deal. You'll still like it, though, because it's a good game and the music is excellent.

Oh, I forgot. The program is called ThumbsPlus. It hasn't been updated in a few years, but in my case, that doesn't matter because it already does everything I need it to do. It does require you to buy a key, but I'm sure you can find a cracked torrent if you want to.
